[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

Fu Li blinked, and looked at the fourth princess suspiciously: "The princess also does business?"

The fourth concubine smiled heartily: "Of course I want to do business, otherwise the livelihood of hundreds of people in the four princes' mansion will be lost. But I am not as good as Mrs. Fu. The businesses you do are all your own. From the beginning When it grows, you will handle it alone. I can't do it. Although I have a lot to talk about, the most difficult initial stage is handled by my prince outside. One of the businesses I am in charge of now is also Food and beverage restaurants, speaking of which, you should also know that there are several restaurants named Zuixianglou."

Zuixianglou?

Fu Li was startled: "You mean, the Zuixiang Building in Bazhou Prefecture?"

The fourth concubine nodded: "This Zuixianglou was actually not called by that name at the beginning, and it was not only in Bazhou Fucheng that such a restaurant was opened, but the previous name was not good enough, so the name was changed soon. This Most of the chefs in the building are imperial chefs who go out of the palace, and they all come to help in the building for the prince's sake. It's just that the business of Zuixiang Building has not been particularly good, although it is also profitable, but compared with the usual The expenditure is not enough to see."

Fu Li deliberately wanted to ask, since the business of the restaurant is not very good, why not just close it.

But after thinking about it, this restaurant is where people come and go, and it is a place where information converges. If you have the heart, you can find out a lot of news in such a place.And the Fourth Prince also has a place similar to the sticky stick, which is dedicated to collecting information...

She paused for a moment and didn't ask further questions.

The fourth concubine glanced at Fu Li, a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, she said again: "But then, Boss You from Zuixiang Building suddenly sent news that a seasoning suddenly appeared in Bazhou Prefecture, with a unique taste. It’s pretty good whether it’s used for cooking or below, but I don’t know the raw materials. Not long after, Boss You sent another message, saying that he already knew the name of the seasoning, which is the fruit of the ornamental plant chili flower that is popular in summer.”

"Because of my personality, I don't really like those sensational flowers, but I prefer plants like plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. But the concubine of the house has a special liking for pepper flowers, so that I have raised more than ten flowers in the courtyard. Chili pepper flower." After finishing speaking, the fourth princess couldn't help laughing, "When I heard the news, after I told the prince, I asked someone to pull out all the pepper flowers in the side concubine's yard, and then sent them to the Zhuangzi for delivery. People study the cultivation method of pepper flower."

Fu Li was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the Fourth Princess, only to see her looking at him with appreciation and satisfaction in her eyes.

Fu Li: "..."

Looking again, I found that the fourth princess's eyes were full of cunning, she seemed to be very happy about being deflated, and she didn't intend to hide her happiness, nor was she afraid of being discovered by others.

"However, I was really curious about the taste of chili peppers at the time, so I asked someone to hold back two chili flower plants, and then handed them over to the kitchen to cook two dishes. Not to mention, although the food in the Siwangfu is light, I can't accept the dishes with chili peppers for a while, but The taste was really good, and after eating it, I had a lot of aftertaste, and I changed my eating habits because of it, I just wish I could eat dishes made with chili every day.”

The fourth princess laughed again, "It's just that the prince really can't accept the taste of chili, and because of this, he doubts that people will really like the dishes with chili. If it wasn't for this, the prince might have noticed Fu Lady, and then I recruited you under my command."

Fu Li's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the Fourth Princess had been talking nonsense for so long, and finally got to the point.But she still had an extremely honored expression: "It's a woman's honor to be valued by the prince and princess. Sooner or later, it will not affect the respect that women have for the two."

The fourth concubine smiled, raised her hand and waved away all the people serving in the room, leaving only two confidants waiting in the room.

"Miss Fu deserves to be a heroine who can earn such a great fortune by herself," the fourth concubine sighed helplessly, "It's too calm, and it's too calm."

Fu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "The women don't understand what the princess is talking about."

The fourth princess didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Aren't you curious, why didn't I just turn off Zuixianglou when it didn't make much money before? Don't you wonder why I said before Knowing the effect of chili peppers, I will definitely recruit you early in the morning?"

Fu Li paused, looked up at the fourth princess: "I would like to hear more about it."

The Fourth Princess looked into Fu Li's eyes and keenly noticed that Fu Li didn't seem surprised by her asking these two questions, and he seemed to have already guessed the answers to these two questions.

Fu Li had indeed guessed a long time ago, and he was quite sure of his guess.

Why didn't the fourth princess directly close the Zuixiang Building when the Zuixiang Building wasn't making much money?Naturally, because the existence of Zuixiang Tower is not just a business, it is also an important base for the fourth prince to collect information: Didn't the fourth princess say it before?For the businesses in her hands, the most difficult start-up stage was when the fourth prince was busy outside.

Since these businesses were all started by the Fourth Prince, naturally most of the manpower in these places was also arranged by the Fourth Prince. The function of these businesses is not only for making money, but also for other purposes.

After all, the Fourth Prince is a scheming person who takes one step and sees ten steps.

And the answer to the latter question is not difficult to guess

Ever since Fu Li entered the door, the topics that the fourth princess talked with her have been around her business, and after that she kept talking about her business is doing well, she is more capable than many men.In the end, the fourth princess almost made it clear: If the fourth prince had known the effect of chili peppers, he would have recruited her.

Why?Make money because of peppers?

No, because chili peppers opened up the situation for Fu Li's business, making it very easy for her to get started in the noodle restaurant. Later, she relied on chili peppers to gain a firm foothold in Bazhou Fucheng, and then she will carry the signboard of "Zhou Gong" Stores are open almost all over the summer.

Since restaurants can collect information, can't there be so many shops in Fuli that can collect information?

Even because most of the customers who can enter the restaurant for consumption are either rich or expensive, and such customers are generally strict with their mouths, and they will not easily say something really important in a place like a restaurant, so although the information that the restaurant can collect will be more Accurate, but not as much information as Fu Li's shops can collect.

In short, the Fourth Prince took a fancy to the traffic of Fu Li's shops, and wanted to use her shops to collect information.

Realizing that Fu Li had already guessed the purpose behind her previous performances, the fourth concubine couldn't help sighing in her heart, and then laughed at herself: "I suddenly understand why Mrs. Fu can do such a big business with a woman, even It surpasses countless capable men."

Fu Li looked at the fourth princess and said with a smile: "The princess seems to have said this before."

The fourth concubine shook her head, the smile on her face fell, but her eyes were much more sincere: "Before, I said those words quite involuntarily, just to dissuade you from your guard. Now I say these words from the bottom of my heart. I thought , you can make the business so big, in addition to having many treasures in your hands that can surprise you, there is also a reason for Dingweihou, but now it seems that Dingweihou may not be able to provide you with much help in business."

Fu Li laughed: "He is a military commander, he is very familiar with the twists and turns in the business field.

You don't know as much as I do. "

The fourth concubine was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Miss Fu, you are really..."

What is it, the fourth princess stopped talking, but she directly gave Fu Li a thumbs up.

Fu Li smiled and shook his head, but didn't answer.

After the fourth princess adjusted her mood, she went straight to the point and said, "Since Mrs. Fu has already guessed the answers to those two questions, it is not difficult to guess my purpose? Then, what is Mrs. Fu's answer?"

Friedman paused, bowed his head and began to think seriously.

It is said that Fu Li has now voted under the command of the fourth prince, and he should obey the request of the fourth prince. However, the Zhougong chain store was "built by Fu Li" himself. If she agrees to hand over the management, no matter what Fu Li thinks. Willing to agree.

After confirming his thoughts, Fu Li said bluntly: "I know the purpose of the fourth concubine's words to me, but... forgive me for not agreeing to your request."

The fourth princess raised her eyebrows: "Why?"

Fu Li said with a smile: "I can't accept what belongs to me, and be labeled as someone else's mark. If this is the case, I might as well just close these shops."

The fourth concubine did not expect Fu Li to say such words, and her expression became more serious: "Miss Fu, did you misunderstand something? Whether it is me or the fourth prince, our fundamental purpose is just to borrow your shop to do something, I will not meddle in the business of your store, and I will not do such shameless acts as occupying your store."

Fu Li nodded: "I believe in the character of the fourth concubine, and I also believe in the heart of the fourth prince for the country and the people. However, I can't accept handing over my shop to someone I don't trust. The store does not belong to my sense of loss of control. Please forgive me from the fourth princess!"

The fourth concubine waved her hand, frowning tightly: "I don't really care, but my lord..."

Fu Li turned his eyes and looked at the fourth princess: "Princess, do you think this is feasible? I still arrange the shopkeepers of my shops, but you can arrange two or three people in the waiting room of the shop."

The fourth concubine blinked, and suddenly laughed: "I have to ask the prince about this, but I think the prince should be willing to agree to such a matter of getting the best of both worlds."

Fu Li breathed a sigh of relief, if she could not offend the Fourth Prince, the future emperor of Great Xia, she still didn't want to offend.

After talking about the business, the fourth concubine simply called in the person who had been driven away earlier.

"Although what I said before was mixed with a lot of insincere and false feelings, but my love for you has never been adulterated." The fourth princess smiled on her face, but her eyes were full of melancholy. I have seen many women, humble, noble, inferior, proud, ugly, beautiful, kind, vicious... But none of them can escape the shackles of being a woman, no matter how talented they are. I can only be trapped in the back house, competing for the same man with other women who didn't look down on me at all, and doing my best for this, losing my most authentic appearance."

Seeing the fourth princess like this, Fu Li couldn't help but stand there in a daze, wanting to comfort her, but didn't know where to comfort her.

She didn't even know whether the fourth princess was sighing for herself or for others.After all, as far as Fu Li saw today, the fourth concubine's temperament is actually quite open-minded, and she doesn't seem to be trapped by love and then lose herself.

The fourth concubine was silent for a moment, then she suddenly said: "Ms. Fu may not know that before I left the cabinet, I exchanged handkerchiefs with Jia Min."

Fu Li was shocked: "!!!"

Seeing Fu Li's frightened look, the Fourth Princess laughed abruptly. When she had had enough laughs, she wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her tone was still slightly joking: "Miss Fu, don't be afraid." , that happened many years ago, let’s not talk about the remaining relationship between me and Jia Min, just say that now, you are much more important to our entire Fourth Palace than Jia Min.”

Most of the time, interests are far more reliable than feelings.

Fu Li breathed a sigh of relief, but he wasn't completely relieved: If he didn't intend to embarrass himself for Jia Min, why did the fourth princess suddenly mention Jia Min?

The fourth concubine had been sitting on the chair all the time, but at this moment she couldn't help but put her hand on the table, and then looked at Fu Li with her chin on her hand.Her posture is much more relaxed, and her eyes looking at Fu Li are also calm, but if you look closely, you can see a bit of sadness.

Fu Li understood that the exclamation of the fourth princess should be for Jia Min.

Sure enough, the fourth princess brought up the past between herself and Jia Min: "It is said that since I married the fourth prince, because of the different positions, I have not communicated with Jia Min for a long time, and the relationship is naturally much stranger. If it was not before With the incident of Jia Wang's drugging Jia Min, Jia Min and I may only be strangers to this day."

Fu Li raised his eyebrows. It seems that the Lin family has now joined the fourth prince, otherwise the fourth princess would not have said such a thing.

As for why the fourth princess disclosed such news to herself, it should be to sell her a favor, so that she will be mentally prepared to meet the Lin family in the future.

Fu Li appreciated the kindness of the fourth princess, but he didn't think it was a big deal to meet Jia Min

After so many years of business operation, Fu Li is no longer the one who was alone in the world of Red Mansions, even if he started a business, he was worried about being retaliated by people who wanted to curry favor with Jia Min, and even snatched Brother Jin away.With her current wealth and connections, and the fact that she is already famous in front of the fourth prince and even the emperor, is she still afraid of the Lin family?

Not to mention the Lin family, even the Jia family, she wouldn't take it too seriously.

Seeing that Fu Li understood the information he wanted to tell her, the smile in the eyes of the fourth princess became more and more real.

After a pause, the fourth princess was really in the mood to talk about the past: "At the beginning, I was just the eldest daughter of the Hou's mansion, but Jia Min was the only daughter of the Duke's mansion. In terms of status, Jia Min His status is actually more noble than mine. With a father like Jia Daishan who is capable and clear, and who holds her in the palm of his hand, and a noble daughter in the capital, even if she is the princess of the palace, she is not as good as Jia Min. However, Jia Min's temperament is like Rong Guogong's, he is quite cheerful and generous, and he doesn't value family background when making friends with others. He only cares about his own mood, and he really has a bit of a romantic attitude of Wei and Jin celebrities."

"I was not in a good situation at the time, but Jia Min didn't care, and still made good friends with me. Her existence brought a great improvement to my situation at that time, and I naturally reciprocated and provided her with a lot of help. It can be said that everyone knew that Jia Min and I had a good relationship at the time."

"According to Jia Min's family background, becoming a concubine in the palace would be a little humiliating to her status. It is easy for her to be a prince concubine, or even a crown princess. It is a pity that Jia Min is not yet young, and the position of crown princess has long been occupied by someone else. But the Jia family I have already joined the crown prince, so I cannot marry Jia Min to other princes."

"Fortunately, Jia Min doesn't care. She even told me that it's not uncommon for her to marry into the royal family. If you can win someone with one heart, you will never leave them forever. This is what Jia Min said when she was never married."

"Later, she didn't marry a well-matched person like other noble girls. Instead, she married Tanhua of the Lin family whose family background had already been defeated. This shocked many people's eyes. But Lin Tanhua is outstanding in appearance and learned from others. It's a good match. Later, when I heard that Jia Min and Lin Tanhua were in harmony, and there was almost no third person between them, many noble women in Beijing were quite envious of her.

. "

Fu Li was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Is what you said true?"

The fourth princess smiled and nodded: "Of course it is true. Even if I married the fourth prince and lost contact with Jia Min, I am quite envious of her marriage."

Fu Li frowned, and began to search the memory of the original owner full of doubts, but unfortunately, the Jia Min in the memory of the original owner and the Jia Min in the mouth of the fourth princess seemed to be...

completely different?

Not to mention the open-mindedness of Wei and Jin celebrities, the sadness in her eyes makes it easy for people to see that her life is not satisfactory.

The fourth princess sighed: "Probably because the relationship was so deep at the beginning, and then when I found out that the relationship was not as good as I imagined, it was a big blow. Later, Jia Min was unable to conceive. After living like a fairy couple, Lin Tanhua took a concubine."

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly, the original owner was Lin Ruhai's first concubine officially accepted into the house.

The fourth concubine glanced at Fu Li, her face full of pity: "After taking a concubine, Jia Min's temper became more and more..."

She shook her head, thinking of the identities between Fu Li and Jia Min, she didn't say anything more, but said: "A few years ago, when Jia Min resumed correspondence with me, I mentioned you, but I never mentioned that you have another About his son. Lin Ruhai has been an official in Yushitai for these years. He has been promoted by the prince, and his official fortune is quite prosperous. Now he has taken the position of doctor of Lantai Temple, so the Lin family is now in the capital. Before you It’s okay to be far away in the prefectural city of Bazhou, but now that you’re in the capital, it’s inevitable that the two parties will meet, so you should make plans.”

Fu Li looked at the fourth princess: "The matter of my son..."

"Although the Lin family broke up with the Jia family, the Lin family used to be from a noble family, and their roots were in the capital, and they had a lot of family friends. With Jia Min's temperament, if she saw you in the capital, she would definitely ask someone to investigate. At that time, the identity of your son will not be concealed." The fourth concubine thought for a while, and said, "But it's not in a hurry now, the Yellow River flood has caused too much trouble recently, and there is a lot of turmoil in the capital, and there should be very few people in the Lin family. When you go out, there should be very few chances for you to meet each other. If you do, Jia Min probably won’t investigate your identity with great fanfare.”

She looked at Fu Li, "I will let the people in the palace pay attention, and try to hide your child's identity as much as possible, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and you have hardly covered up in Bazhou Fucheng before. With the help of the Fourth Prince's House to hide it, it won't be long if I think about it."

Fu Li nodded, then smiled and said, "The princess wants me to meet Jia Min?"

The Fourth Prince's Mansion laughed: "That's true. Jia Min likes Lin Ruhai very much, and now she has a son and a daughter under her knees. She doesn't welcome you and your child's existence, and she certainly doesn't want your son to return to the Lin family. If so Joining hands with Jia Min, your child's identity can naturally be well hidden."

Fu Li chuckled lightly, then shook his head: "I don't want it anymore. If one more person knows about this kind of thing, it will be more risky. Besides, if Jia Min really likes Lin Ruhai deeply, he may not know what he thinks about my child's existence." .”

If Fu Li didn't know the plot of the Red Mansion, she might follow the proposal of the fourth princess and go to Jia Min to cooperate. After all, what the fourth princess said is reasonable, if Jia Min doesn't want Brother Jin to return to the Lin family, she will definitely spare no effort to hide it. Brother Jin's identity must never be noticed by Lin Ruhai.

But Fu Li knew until the plot of the Red Mansion that Jia Min's son died at the age of three.

Counting her age, Daiyu is now four years old, and her brother is only one year younger than her, which means that Jia Min's son will die this year.

The premise for the fourth princess to let her cooperate with Jia Min is that Jia Min has a son, and the Lin family has no shortage of sons.

But what if Jia Min's son died?

Fu Li wasn't afraid that the Lin family would know Brother Jin's identity, but at such a critical time, it's better not to have side effects.

The fourth concubine's proposal was rejected, and she didn't care: "Are you planning to let your son recognize his ancestors?"

Fu Li shook her head: "Brother Jin is just my son, I don't intend to let him return to the Lin family." After a pause, she smiled helplessly, "Of course, if Brother Jin wants to go back to the Lin family, I won't stop it either."

However, Brother Jin still doesn't know his own background, he only thinks that his father is dead, so he shouldn't even think about going back to the Lin family.

The fourth princess smiled and nodded: "You know it in your own mind."

Fu Li said with a smile: "Fourth Princess, please don't tell Mrs. Lin about Brother Jin's existence. No matter how Brother Jin chooses in the future, it's not a good time to tell Brother Jin about his life experience."

The fourth princess smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, if you don't want to say it yourself, I will naturally not do it for you."

Soon, Fu Li left the Four Princes' Mansion.

Standing outside the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion for a while, Fu Li let out a foul breath.Talking to these people who can turn a dozen corners with a single sentence is really tiring.

Aunt Tian followed behind Fu Li, looking at her worriedly: "Miss Fu, are you okay?"

Fu Li smiled and shook his head: "It's okay."

But after hearing what the fourth concubine said, she suddenly realized that since she came to the capital, Brother Jin's identity might not be able to be concealed.What she has to do now is to increase her chips as soon as possible.

There is no way to open the store at present, and even if it does, it probably won't be of much use.

Her marriage with Wei Yan can be used.

Thinking in this way, Fu Li went directly to the old lady Shang Wei, and decided to arrange their marriage as soon as possible. It would be best to let the dust settle before Brother Jin's identity was discovered.

According to the plot of the original book, she didn't need to be so anxious. After all, Lin Ruhai would be sent to Huaiyang when Daiyu was five years old. There are not many opportunities at all.

But she only learned a few days ago that Wang Ziteng is still only a small leader of a large camp in the suburbs of Beijing. Wang Zisheng, who should have returned to Jinling, is staying in the capital well, and the Lin family has already been with him. The Rongguo Mansion is breaking up...

Fu Li couldn't help worrying whether the collapse of the plot would affect Lin Ruhai's official position. If Lin Ruhai hadn't been sent to Huaiyang to serve as the salt censor next year, wouldn't Brother Jin have many opportunities to contact the Lin family?She couldn't just trap Brother Jin at home and prevent him from going out just to conceal his identity.

Fu Li said that he would get married as soon as possible, let alone Wei Yan and his son, even the old lady and the old man were very happy.

With her speaking, the old lady soon began to arrange their marriage.

After returning home, Fu Li directly called Brother Jin to her room. She paused, looked seriously into Brother Jin's clear eyes and said, "Brother Jin, there is one thing I haven't told you all this time. You, your biological father is not dead, he is alive and well, and he is in the capital now."

Brother Jin froze for a moment, then widened his eyes: "Really?"
